Question 1
International Beans, Inc. (IBI) is a processor and distributor of a variety of blends of coffee. The company buys green (unprocessed) coffee beans from around the world and roasts, blends, and packages them for resale. IBI offers a large variety of different coffees that it sells to gourmet shops in one-kilogram bags. The major cost of the coffee is raw materials in the form of unprocessed coffee beans. However, the company’s predominately automated roasting, blending, and packing processes require a substantial amount of manufacturing overhead.
Some of IBI’s coffees are very popular and sell in large volumes, while a few of the newer blends sell in very low volumes. IBI prices its coffees at manufacturing cost plus a markup of 25% with some adjustments made to keep the company prices competitive.
